I don't believe in the nation state. I believe in multi-national cooperation and coming together as a world. Over the events of the past few years in my adopted country, I believe I shall enter this event under the guise of NATO.
Here is the roster for NATO for the NCT.

Weak. The point of this event was to make a competition between 'nations', not create a new entity to band together any group of players. At any rate, enjoy.

I think I could top this with a United Nations team BTW I'm aware this is a dig at the Commonwealth Team, but the difference is there is common heritage with the four countries that are in the Commonwealth Team (Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Britain) in that Britain is their mother country and they were/are the Dominion Colonies of the British Empire. NATO, well that is a defensive Alliance that in real terms is rather obsolete.

I'm sorry, we don't believe in the UN, however we do believe in the abilities of NATO. When the Europeans do choose to go to war with us, at least we can kill them and use their own ammo against them.

NATO, well that is a defensive Alliance that in real terms is rather obsolete. Well, So that everybody knows, The whole UK team, Especially DeviousDevil, have spend a lot of time trying to prepare/organize for the NC event. As it turned out, Uk wasn't able to get enough player for the NC. It was the same for Australia, and for Canada (6 players top each) So we decided to merge to set up a good team, rather than having 3*6 Players left out. We picked AUS and CAN,'cause it was the most obvious (regarding history) choice As I was saying on our forum, that doesn't mean we'll stick like that forever, we know the point was to represent a country, but Hell if we had 25 British player already we wouldn't have done that . In the end, I believe it was the right decision to take, seen that we have yet to fulfill the 14 ( ) events. (Actually 12 or so being filled) Anyway, now....let's enjoy

Well it is a nation's cup, why not change the name into organisations/regions/countries. If you go with NATO, maybe someone should start a United Nations team, or FreeTradeOrganizaton, maybe an OPEC team? In any rate, i think NATO team is sort of redicilous to have since you have 26 countries from 3 continents in NATO.....so not much of Nations Cup there If you have NATO team, it would be very easy just to bring the enire clan into that team....losses the essence of the Nation's cup.

If this were being done properly then you wouldn't need more than 4-5 people per nation. However, as with all things that have to do with CS, it's FUBAR. It's like the people in charge of this site have no idea what the f**k they're doing. I should show you how to do a real nations cup like other games do that are 10 times more successful than this game.

As an American, you join Team Australia and then you complain about Team NATO? Seems quite hypocritical to me, but then again I am a CCC Thug and an Elitist, so what would I know?

I certainly agree with Crypto and LH - great job screwing up this event! I will certainly skip it. I agree with Mookie as well tho. longhorn should play for the US team or maybe relocate to Australia...

Seems quite hypocritical to me, but then again I am a CCC Thug and an Elitist, so what would I know? I am NOT on any team, and have no intention of being on any team since you decided to make a mockery of this tournament. There is a complete difference between one individual wanting to play for another country that needed players and a concentrated group effort to destroy someone elses dreams and ideas. I am so sorry you cannot tell the difference. All someone had to do is voice an objection that I wanted to play for team Australia and I would have withdrawn. Thats another difference between me and you though. One thing I will admit to however, is i was dead wrong about your RaY only games as a bad thing. It was probably the best thing that could have ever happened to the ladder. Enjoy your RaY only games and RaY only tournaments.. you have my full support.. its a great idea and wonderful for the whole ladder. Hope to see more of them! Disclaimer: The opinions of longhorn are solely the opinions of longhorn and do expressly or implied speak for the ladder or the administration. Criticsm of the leadership of a clan in no way means that individual members of that group are bad people.

If this team is a joke, you really owned us guys. And if it's not a joke, it is pityful. Different countries playing together is ok as long as they don't get enough players to make several teams, while this is just a trick to make a RaY team with a different name. Very disappointing. I trust admins to make the right decision about this team...

frankly iv had enough of longhorn behaving like this as an admin
canuck, you promissed me he wouldnt talk like this about our clan anymore
i dont see what the big deal is, team british commonwealth has the same number of countries for its active members as NATO. only me and the USA guys were ever planning on playing, where team GB, a team longhorn was a member of, has at least 3 nations
redphoenix plays for germany, team mediterranean, team latino?
why dont those teams get any grief
